Glowy moisturizer
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really like this moisturizer! The formula is a turmeric colored yellow but it rubs into my skin seamlessly and leaves a subtle yet unmistakeable glow. Feels great on my skin and my skin looks and feels moisturized after application for the rest of the day. It comes with a little scoop / applicator which I love. Didn't cause any reactions on my sensitive skin.

Brighting but not greasy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is the first time of me using Sunday Riley, and I would love to explore more this specific product. I feel that with consistency and time I will see more results, but for now what ive seen is that my skin feels very soft for long periods and very bright too but in a healthy not greasy way! Which I appreciate because my skin tends to be oily with the hours. It is very easy to apply and my skin absorb it fast too! I didnt notice weird reactions so I am excited to see the longer term effects!

Amazing Cream
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This vitamin C moisturizer makes my skin look and feel amazing! I have to be careful with vitamin c products but this cream is top quality and doesn't irritate my skin at all! It hydrates and absorbs into your skin without feeling greasy. And the packaging and applicator makes it that much more luxurious!

Yellow!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The color of this moisturizer is very yellow and took a little more effort to get it to blend into my skin. The neroli scent isn't subtle at all! Thankfully the scent goes away after a while. I wish it was a bit more hydrating for my dry skin.

Boost of antioxidants!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have a few Sunday Riley products but this is my first time trying this vitamin c moisturizer. It definitely has a citrus scent but also slightly herbal in a floral way. I like the cooling texture of it and love the little footed applicator. Sometimes you just don't want to use your hands to dig into the products. I think the consistency is nice and light however the color was a little more shocking and bright than I expected but that's part of the boost of antioxidants! I don't mind the feel of it on my face but I don't always like feeling a product on my skin. There's a thin layer that you can kind of feel. So far it feels okay on my combo skin and I haven't had any breakouts. My skin is dry in the evening after I shower and it absorbs well.

So Luxurious!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This moisturizer feels so luxurious!! First off, I love the little spatula it comes with so you don't have to dip your fingers directly in the jar. I wasn't 100% sure about the smell at first, but it quickly grew on me! The scent is both floral and citrusy and feels very clean. It's thicker than my normal moisturizer (which is more of a gel), but this actually absorbs really well and leaves a glowy effect on your skin! I feel really radiant after applying it! I've been consistently using it day and night, and I can see my skin slowly brightening. Several of my dark spots have lightened, and some of my redness has gone down a little. Not completely, but it's definitely helping. I also really like that it's a makeup primer. I'm all for a 2-in-1 product! (It's quite expensive, but to me, that does help justify the price a bit.) I'm seriously considering switching to this moisturizer, but the steep cost is my main issue. If you can afford it, I definitely think it's worth it because you get a good amount of high-quality product!

This makes my face glow
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The ingredients are natural. I had no breakouts. The consistency is smooth and silky but not greasy. I really like that my spot on my hand which I applied this to twice a day has definitely faded. My before pick didn't turn out but when I started the spot was 2 shades darker.

Glowing Goddess ✨
I received this product in exchange for my honest review! First off I loved how the product made my skin so glowy and smooth. I paired it with a serum & some under eye hydrating cream. A little product goes along way & it's super hydrating. It definitely brightens up my skin. The only downfall about it is it does have a slit greasy residue & I'm not a big fan of the smell unfortunately but it's still a great product either way.

Rich luxurious satin finish cream
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Beautifully packaged with a rich vitamin C scent, this cream feels luxurious from the start. The formula is thick and creamy, yet it has a lightweight, gel like texture that melts effortlessly into the skin. It's non-greasy and leaves a smooth, satin finish. What really stands out is the longevity. My skin stays glowing and radiant throughout the day, If you're looking to even out and brighten your complexion, this product delivers, It's also gentle enough for sensitive skin and works well for all skin types.

Radiant skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have been absolutely obsessed. My skin feels smoother, brighter and so incredibly radiant. It doesn't irritate my skin and very quickly absorbing. It gives a kind of glow you don't just see..you feel.

good!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] so far i like this. It applies really nice to the skin and has a bit of a jelly texture so it feels very cooling. it's super yellow but blends into the skin and doesn't leave a tint. I've been applying this at night on top of my normal moisturizer and i do think it leaves my skin looking brighter in the morning. The product has no added fragrance however it does have a natural smell that reminds me of fruit loops. i do like this product however i dont see myself buying it in the store just because it is quite expansive and im not yet sure if its worth it.

Love! Healthy glow and complexion
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this moisturizer! It has brightened my complexion and evened out my skin tone. It leaves a healthy glow while also being a natural finish. I have very oily skin and it's well controlled when I use this. It absorbs so well into my skin, It never feels like there's any product on it. It also comes with a little spatula, which comes in handy if I don't want to put my hands in the jar. I put a before and after to see how my redness has gone away. All in all no complaints!

I have tried Sunday Riley in the past but always feel like their product break me out. This cream feels nice and rich but I didn't prefer the scent and felt slightly oily after.

Great hydration and soft glow
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have been using the C.E.O. afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Gel Cream as a primer after I shower and prior to applying my foundation. It goes on very smoothly, and blends well, leaving a soft glow to my skin. The product also keeps my skin hydrated all day, and keeps my skin feeling silky, and not sticky at all. It also has a nice light scent, so it doesn't compete with other products that I use. It is a terrific brightening cream!

Makes skin more dry in a drier climates
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I actually enjoyed this bright yellow color, so uplifting in colder months. The neroli scent is strong but disappears after a while. And I really liked the texture of it, it's not too greasy or too light, it just feels very nice as a daytime cream. And it should be great for dry skin… But since it contains hyaluronic acid, it can actually make your skin drier in a dry climate. Removing hyaluronic acid would make this product suitable for more people.
